Chapter 2 – Jealous Reds
A/N - No copyright infringement meant. I am very scared of lawyers. Everything belong to Shonda Rhimes and ABC, except for Jillian the Neurologist. She is mine, all mine.
It's not enough that she is a beautiful blonde, but apparently she is a neurologist. Perfect, just perfect. April Kepner is not Jealous, thank you very much. She just feels like someone is twisting her internal organs and throwing darts at her heart, yeah that's it. That's because of the chicken she is eating, sitting on the kitchen counter not because she is currently being subjected to the Jackson-Jillian make out movie on the couch. Her Couch. The Couch she picked out from IKEA. Jillian's voice was very irritating, it made April scrunch up her nose in disgust.
"So, how about we go out and have some dinner? To celebrate your moving in."
How she managed to talk with her tongue down Jackson's throat was beyond April. They were currently trying to clean each other's tonsils out.
Jackson laughed lightly, that beautiful laugh that made all his features light up like stars. "Sure what do have in mind? How about we get some take out from Dragon's Inn and stay home instead. I can think of a million things we can do."
No, this is wrong. Dragon's Inn was her idea. She wanted to eat Chinese tonight, why couldn't they order Indian or have a pizza or something. Why are they stealing her idea. That's when April realized that she is acting like she did in Junior High. She needs to grow up. She is mature and she can handle Jackson and that bint together. Kissing and hugging and exchanging their body fluids. Ew.
Jackson is free to date whoever he wants. She broke his heart multiple times, she realizes that. Well atleast she has Jesus now. She could talk to him, and he will listen to her and comfort her.
O-O-O-O
Jackson felt April's stare on him the whole time he was kissing Jillian. He really thought she would come interrupt them, like she did when he and Lexie were making out on the couch. Instead she just went upstairs without a second glance, no doubt to talk to Jesus.
Jackson wondered if Jesus would come down to his place one day shake April up and tell her to take it easy for once. He should do that. Yes, that will get him April back and will give the atheists an attack if nothing. Maybe he can also explain to people that evolution is a fact. Jackson smiled a little at his own humor.
"What's so funny?" Jillian asked and cut through his daze.
"I was just thinking about evolution" he said, drawing a confused-amused expression on her face.
"You were thinking about science when I was kissing you? Should I take that as an insult?"
"Well when you are kissing me a different part of my anatomy pays attention to you, who cares about the brain. Now let's go get some food."
O-O-O-O
The smell of French toast woke Jackson up the next morning. He tired to move but it looked like he was entangled with another person correction, a beautiful blonde person. He tried to shift without waking her up.
He quickly threw some clothes on and brushed his teeth and bounded downstairs in the search of food. Loud music met his ears, and he smiled in spite of himself.
Friday night it's party time feeling ready looking fine, viene diego rumbeando, with the magic in his eyes checking every girl in sight, grooving like he does the mambo he's the man there en la disco, playing sexy feeling hotter…
April was dancing away to the music as she made breakfast. She started dancing because of Christina. Frankly, she likes it. It takes her mind off things, things like Jillian spending the night at their place.
Jackson stood near the archway and watched April dancing and applying butter to her toast. He was still smiling at her, when she looked up. Brown eyes met blue eyes and they both held that intense gaze for longer than necessary. Those sparks between them could set stuff on fire.
"I need some food." Alex rushed past them both picked up some french toast and left the kitchen, forcing Jackson and April to look away. Christina came in and looked at them both calculatingly.
"Oh my god, if you want to do it, just do it. I don't want to watch this soap opera drama everytime I see you two now. Avery she misses the Jackson action. She is more uptight than ever now, if that's even possible. She wants to start a chore wheel. Over my dead body Kepner. I don't clean." Christina said as she looked through the fridge left with a bottle of juice.
"We umm, should get going. I have a surgery at 10." April said and fled the kitchen. What she did not notice is the way Jackson's eyes followed her.
What is wrong with me, she pondered as she stood under the hot shower. When she was together with Jackson, she did not feel this way about him. She was mostly focused on the guilt. It was like eating a whole chocolate cake without sharing. It was so good to eat, but the after effects left her a little sick. But now, it was like she is seeing him differently. When had he gone from being Jackson Avery her friend ( her special friend) to this incredibly gorgeous guy she wants to be with. How did this happen. Why is no one telling her anything, anymore. UNFAIR.
O-O-O-O
"So, we are all set for tonight then. I will be ready by 7." Jillian said as he dropped her off at Seattle Pres. She kissed him lightly on the lips and left. She turned back halfway and told him casually over her shoulder, flipping that long blond hair of hers "I don't think your friend Kepner likes me very much Jackson." She continued walking without waiting for Jackson to reply.
What she did not notice was the way Jackson smiled. So it started.
